My family started going to the Gospel Chicken House in 2001. I first started out singing children songs with Mrs. Vickie. Ducky told me to buy a tambourine and I could play with them. Then I started to play the tambourine with the band. When I first got started “Pop” Weeks and the other band members took me under their wings and helped me to become a part of the band. “Pops” was a great mentor to me. He helped me a lot and I miss him greatly. I have been playing with the band for a little over three years. I started when I was seven years old. Now that I am older I also sing and play other instruments. I also juggle handkerchiefs and march with the band when we play. In the summer we go on a mission trip. I love being in the band. We always have a great time singing, playing, and praising the Lord wherever we go or whatever we do.
